hot 67
My 67 with 352 is running a bit hot, particularly when I let it idle with the AC running. I have no fan shroud. So I went to install the shroud from the 69. To my surprise, there are no mounting holes on the 67 for the shroud.
Maybe the PO swapped radiators, or worse turned it around? It does have a large cooler for the AC in front of the radiator. The tranny cooler is mounted horizontally with an air scoop. Anybody ever seen that?
In any case, I'm considering an electric fan setup. This basically has it's own shroud, correct?
Has anybosy had good luck with a particular generic setup or did you use application specific fans.
BTW, it's supposed to hit 107 F with 50% humidity today, here in central Texas. Maybe I shold just stay in the house and surf the web :-)

Mine had a factory style shroud bolted to the radiator. Did not look like afterthought. Mine also has the condensor mounted infront of radiator. I have not checked numbers on radiator to see if original, but I would guess.
Luckily the weather around here has been marginal and more rain than sun. I have not had to run air much at all. Since I put a slider in the back it stays quite cool while driving.
Mine heat soaks big time when I shut it off though. I have not figured that one out yet. Real pain to get it started, guage goes to extreme HOT, then comes back after you get it started again. I hate it when the factory makes stuff like this.
A couple more months and I won't have to worry about it for 6 months

I went to the local auto parts store to see what they had in stock for electric fans. They had nothing. But while I was there or just before getting there, my battery up and died. And suddenly. I have never had a battery quit in an instant like this.
It started easily at my house then at the restaraunt. Then naturally, when I went to the parts store, nothing.
They were not much help at all. I called my dad, got a ride to my house/shop and picked up another fully charged battery, and voila, off she went. It's nice to have a shop full of compatible parts.
Weird, never had one quit like that. But now that I think about it, that was the original battery to the 95 F150 I had years ago. I kept it around the shop for using on projects.

Here's this thread from the big Bronco forum on electric fans:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...hreadid=137449
Inside that thread there are, of course, more links. I followed several of them, and one of them mentions taking the electric fan setup from a mid-80s (or may have been 90s) Nissan Maxima and placing it inside the original shroud. But that brings you back to your original problem--no shroud mounting on the '67 radiator.
There's a junkyard out 183 just south of Briggs called Cordell; I saw several of our era trucks out there, one with factory AC. Most of them had shrouds, but most of them had been broken apart.
And yes, I noticed that's it's hotter than hell out there today. Time to pump some more freon into the Bronco.

Got my 69 out of storage one spring, hooked up the battery, it kicked right off. Drove up the street to get some gas. Went to start....DEAD , completely, the light in the radio would not even light
Thank goodness for stick shifts
When they die....they DIEHARD...

I've researched this quite a bit, have all the shop manuals and dealer brochures... fairly certain the F100 didn't come with a shroud. The big trucks maybe did?
I'm also thinking about going electric... dual fans.
